Open Thread Monday

by Carl Ballard — Monday, 10/17/22, 8:00 am

Hey, you know what would be great? If there wasn’t so damn much smoke everywhere. And maybe if we we don’t break records in October. Give us a good, hard rainy day. Just a day to get this shit done with. I know, in February, I’ll be done with it, but the fires need putting out. No smoking, Seattle. I don’t want to wear a mask just to go on a walk.

Anyway, please wash your hands right now. And get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible. The bivalent booster is great, and you protect yourself and your community by getting it.

    Kay, so you hear me loud and clear this time.

    The whole story is fake. The woman I said I never even heard of IS actually one of my baby momas. The money I said I never ever ever sent, well that is my check. It’s a real check. My badge is real. I signed the check. It was for mom stuff for the kid. Yeah I know the kid was born two years after I wrote the check. It was for the first kid, that I knew nothing about the abortion. I was paying for diapers for the kid I swore didn’t exist because it didn’t exist. Life begins at conception but THIS kid….we have plenty of trees.

    But you have to trust me, folks. It was NOT to pay for an abortion. It’s a mere coincidence that it closely matches a medical bill in amount. It’s all a lie and I will sue the Daily Beast.

    C’mon, I’m a busy man. I haven’t sued the Daily Beast YET because I’m too busy.

    Iowa Senate inside the MOE

    I know it’s NOT a garbage poll but not getting excited about a thing that is so not likely to happen but could.

    Grassley is 89 so by previous assertions it stands to reason that Iowa voters might not still be comfortable with a guy who on the actuarial table stands a 14% chance of dying before his next birthday, has been a Senator since before the PC was a thing, still thinks a CD-Rom is pretty cool, and has been in some public office since the Cuban Revolution and the average wage was about half the total cost of buying a house.

    A federal jury will be told that the University of Idaho School of Law failed to preserve interview notes from an internal investigation of alleged race and sex discrimination against faculty and staff members and that it may presume the notes support a professor’s bias claims.

    The jury will receive that instruction during the trial of Shaakirrah Sanders’ 2019 lawsuit, the US District Court for the District of Idaho said, granting her motion for sanctions. Sanders alleges that she was subjected to a pattern of disparate job terms and conditions because she is Black and a woman.

    If there’s one thing we can learn from the 1970s, it’s that voters care a lot about inflation, and it’s quite difficult for elected officials to deflect on the issue, because price increases are plain to see.

    YLB wants to know what an independent woman is. YLB’s had her mouth locked around Obama’s cock for so many years she’s lost track of the world around her.

    A NYT/Siena College poll found independent female voters in particular swung dramatically to the right in the past month, despite Democrats’ focus on abortion rights.

    “In September, they favored Democrats by 14 points. Now, independent women backed Republicans by 18 points— a striking swing given the polarization of the American electorate and how intensely Democrats have focused on that group and on the threat Republicans pose to abortion rights,” the paper reported.

    32 points in one month.

    Paying for polls that measure vapor is how.

    When you already know that response rates in general among all voters are below 5%, what do you think happens to response rates among “18 to 29 year olds”?
    These guys have no fucking clue.

    The weird-beard minority of “ironic dude-bros” struggling for clout with “edge” and “shitlording” are gone as soon as the fat, goofy, spray-tanned, reality television “King” has left the building. Fat Midget polls worse than Hillary with them.

    Worst part is, they don’t “randomly” respond to phone polls. Or any polls. This is not the generation that sits passively and watches whatever comes on tv next. They expect to interact and influence.

    They lie.

    That’s what social media identities are. Carefully constructed lies. These kids have been at it so long they don’t even see it that way. Pollsters trying to measure them are fucked. And so is anyone who relies on such polling.

    Walker campaign tells me they gave each reporter copies of the 15 eviction lawsuits filed against residents of the building.

    Each eviction lawsuit has the resident’s name and room number.

    Walker campaign says not one reporter made their way into the building this AM.

    Commercial RE is a good investment. And hey, who wants shitty tenants? Unpaid rent is unpaid rent, even if it’s only $28.55 short.

    Warnock said they weren’t evicted during the pandemic. August 2020 is pretty pandemicky if you ask me. That was one of the months that ‘froggy had a good excuse for not having a job.

    Warnock is lying

    “TO THE MARSHAL OR HIS LAWFUL DEPUTIES:

    You are hereby commanded to remove said Defendant together with his/her property hereon from said house and premises and to deliver full and quiet possession of the same to the Plaintiff herein.”

    Aug. 2020 and Feb. 2022.

    ATLANTA — Herschel Walker holds a presser with Georgians who he says got eviction notices from Raphael Warnock’s church-owned building. He sidesteps questions about whether any of them were actually evicted. (Warnock says none were during that period of the pandemic.)

    CNN trying to be neutral, for the first time since before GWB43 was president.

    John Fetterman said he’s ‘always supported’ fracking – he previously said ‘I don’t’ and ‘never have’

    The comments are part of a long and often contradictory series of positions from the Senate candidate on the industry, which provides tens of thousands of jobs and contributes millions to Pennsylvania’s economy.

    Fetterman’s message about the industry has often depended on his audience and he has attempted a balancing act – supporting a transition to green and renewable energy, while also pledging support for the Pennsylvanians employed by it – according to a review of his past interviews by CNN’s KFile.

    Well, he’s a fuckin’ liar when he’s not a turnip. His campaign promises that he is quickly returning to being the liar he’a always been.

    The best thing about a GOP takeover of the Senate is that VP Momala will finally have time to visit the southern border, when she’s no longer needed in DC to break ties.

    “That’s right his badge is as real as mine”

    When the marshals evicted the tenants from that slum apartment building that Raphael Warnock owns through his church, they flashed badges that look just like the one that Walker flashed during the debate.

    Nevada’s largest teachers union won’t be endorsing in the governor race this year.

    Think about that. Vanity Fair did.

    THE DEMOCRATIC MACHINE IN NEVADA MIGHT BE FALTERING

    Perhaps a larger problem for Cortez Masto, Sisolak, and the Reid machine is that unlike in other high-profile races around the country, their Republican opponents are more polished than many of their neophyte colleagues. Laxalt, the Senate candidate, and Joe Lombardo, the gubernatorial candidate, are plenty conservative, but neither has an expanding list of secret children or has peddled “miracle” weight-loss remedies. Laxalt and Lombardo, the sheriff of Nevada’s most populous county, have emphasized conventional campaign themes, instead of culture wars, in their current races: inflation, crime, and tying their Democratic adversaries to President Biden, whose job approval numbers remain mired in the low 40s. “They are ‘normal’ Republicans, which is what you want to be this year—vanilla. That favors a Republican in a midterm election in a state Biden won by the hair of his chin,” a national Democratic consultant says.

    Best not to piss off the new governor.

    There’s nothing preventing him from doing it now, or at any time since the Dobbs decision was handed down.

    Biden to ask Congress to codify Roe v. Wade abortion rights protections if Democrats keep control

    If he really wanted to attract votes he’d ask Congress to spend less on stupid shit like solar.

    One month ago the 538 Senate forecast gave the Democrats a 71% chance of holding the Senate.

    It’s down to 63% now.

    Fewer than three weeks ago the 538 House forecast gave the Democrats a 32% chance of holding the House.

    It’s down to 27% now.

    Meanwhile, U.K.’s Liz Truss is a shooting star instead of a rising star, dragged down by her foolish attachment to Reaganomics (aka “voodoo economics”). Last I heard Labour had a 36-point edge in polls. It seems “tax cuts for the rich” doesn’t play well with England’s working stiffs, who are worrying how they’re going to heat their homes this winter. Elon Musk’s solution is to give Putin what he wants. He soon may have Tulsi hitting on him; birds of a feather …

    75,
    Geezus that was quick.

    Degen’s entire argument for Trump’s “victimhood” at the hands of an oppressive bureaucratic state fizzles out in what is literally the worst most discrediting record of any federal prosecutor ever. Complete and total failure for the entire enterprise. Durham will be gone right after the midterms dragging a useless gaggle of Trumpy US Attorneys with him. Then he’ll be investigated himself.

    How very sad for Degen and his fellow MAGAts. Nothing left to redeem their terrible mistake. Leaving only bitterness and resentment in its wake.
